In a recent interview with President Donald Trump, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “killer.” To this, Trump replied, “There are a lot of killers. We got a lot of killers, what, you think our country is so innocent?”

On Monday, the Kremlin expressed distaste for O’Reilly’s classification of Putin via a conference call.

“We consider such words from the Fox TV company to be unacceptable and insulting, and honestly speaking, we would prefer to get an apology from such a respected TV company,” said Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, asking for an apology.
